Buying a used Legacy

I am thinking of buying a 2008 Subaru Legacy 2.0 turbo diesel with about 50,000 miles on it. Can you advise on what are the things to watch our for when buying this car?

These had a few problems immediately post launch: DPF regeneration and dual mass flywheel trouble. But if the car is now sorted it should not be further trouble. See:
